A Sensation !

Why is it that three bottles oflB. B. b.
are sold in Atlanta to one Of any other
blood remedy, and twice as much con-
sumed in the State of Georgia as any
other preparation? No one need take
our word, but simply ask the druggists.
Ask the people. They are competent
witnesses. Six houses i'll Atlanta are
buying b. b. B. in five and ten gross
lots, and some of them buy as often as
every two months. Why these unpre-
cedonted sales here at home with so little
advertising? Modosty forbids us making
reply. Had b. b. b. been before the
public quarter or half century, it
would not be necessary to bo bolstered

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation,

The original of this is written up
on common official paper, and is in
the hand of President Lincoln, save
the second and third paragraphs,
which are printed. The printed par
agraps were cut from the previous
proclamation of Sept. %, and pasted
upon the sheet by Mr.. Lincoln him
self, to save the labor of writing
them. The attest is in the hand of
Secretary Seward-a handwriting not
greatly unlike that of the President.
only that it is larger ana rather more
regular. When the secretary of state
started to pen the attest there appears
to have been rayeling in his pen,
for as far as the sixth word, "here.
unto" the lines are heavy and partly
blurred. The signature of the Presi-
dent is more tremulous than the body
of the document, and appears poor as
a specimen of chlrography among
she straight lines of Mr.. Stewards
firm hand. The tremulousness was
due, not to nervousness, but to the
fact that Mr., Lincoln signed the proc.
lamation on New Years day, after
having shaken hands with several
hundred people.
BY a singular incident there really
exists to-day two original copies of
the emancipation proclamation, The
incident consists in the fact that Mr..
Lincoln, at the request of the British
museum, made, with his own hand,
a second copy of his great paper.
This is unlike that preserved at
Washington. In that the attest is fill

The Worlds Graveyard.

Considerable disputes have been
had relative to the space required to
contain the people of the earth from
Adam to the end of 5000 years.
The space required is comparatively
insignificant when the almost incom.
prehensible number of people are
taken into consideration. The basis
of calculation is presumably Overes-
timated. The present population of
the earth is reputed to be ,400,0 900
people. We have 113 years yet to
complete 5000 years, but if we take
700,000.000 as an average dying every
generation. we find that in the 5000
years, allowing 333 years to a genera
ton, $50 generations will have pas
sed, or 100000. 000x190-126, 900, 000,.
600 (billions) of people will have ex-
listed at the completion of 5000 years.
Allowing one square yard to each,
they would occupy space of 81, 44S
square miles. This is a little more
than One-half the size or Missouri
(63,415 miles, and seven times less
than the size of Texas 1865. $50 square
miles). Allowing 3x6 feet for inter-
ment, Texas would afford burial for
three times the number, or on the
same basis, would contain all the
people of the earth for $4,000 years.
Allowing 2 feet to stand on. for each
person, at the end of 5000 years they
would make a belt around the earth

The Age of Railroads.

Few people realize the extent and
Importance of the railroads In the
United States. We have grown so
familiar with vast railroad systems
that we do not appreciate their mag
nitude. The building of new rail-
road now creates very little COM
ment. There are about 140, 900 miles
of railroad in the United States. In
all the world outside there are less
than 10000 miles. We have over
tWo-fifths of the railroad mileage of
the earth. In the State of Georgia
alone there are several hundred
more miles of railroads than there are
in the German Empire. And this
proportion is increasing, for nowhere
is railroad construction proceeding so
rapidly as in the United States. These
facts indicate a great change in the
old conditions of commerce, Fifty
years ago an inland town OF any con-
siderable size would have been an
impossibility, Population was thick
at the ports and grew sparse with the
increasing distance from the sea,
Railroads are now the great channels
of trade. They make ports amid the
mountains. Railroads are built right
along the banks of our great rivers,
and compete successfully with water
transportation. There never was a
time when railroad enterprise was
holder, or when railroad investments
were, on an average, more profitable.
1t is impossible to set limit to the
possibilities of railroads in this coun-
| try.-AHd2at0 Constitution,

A Southern Squire.

pumpkins" and whose home amt
a thousand miles from the Pelican
State, was great favorite with the
late Judge Cranch. Once visiting the
Judge the latter invited him to walk
over his premises. Among other
places they visited the barnyard, and
the squire was struck with admira-
ton as he gazed upon the noble herd
of cows which had just been driven
up for milking. He talked as eIabor-
ately of their different good points
as would first-rate, good stock
breeder, when the fact was he knew
next to nothing about stock. and
some of the good points which he
spoke of caused the judge hearty
laugh-in his sleeve.
swell, Squire" said the judge.
(which of the cows will you take?"
(which will I take, your honor ?"
said the Squire, not knowing the
judges meaning.
"Yes, which will you take? 1 am
going to make you present of one
of them-which shall it be?"
"Really, your honor, this is unex-
pected. I will not object to the pres
ent. but had rather your honor would
make the selection, as receivers
should not be choosers."
''If you accept the present you
must make the selection. Being
good judge YOU will not be likely to
cheat yourself" and the eccentric
judge smiled to himself.
The Squire rubbed his gold.bowed
spectacles and began to view the
cows with critics precision. After
much scrutinizing he said: appre-
bend. your honor, you would not
like to part with that very fat. short
horned, thick-necked cow"
~ have no choice-make your own
selection" said the Judge, his risibles
hardly controllable.
II don't want to rob you of your
favorite COW, but if you have no
choice 1 should prefer the very fat
one she has many good points,"
mo fayorite-no robbery at all
the fat COW is yours, My servant
will drive her to your house before
milking"
The delighted squire fastened
home to inform his wife. In about
an hour he saw the --latest and best
pointed COW in the village" as he
styled her. driven into his yard, and
dispatched sable daughter of Africa
to milk her. In few minutes in
came ebony, giggling and laughing.
Squire Wick knew something was
to pay, and what he could not con-
jure. There stood Dinah, "round
up" with laughter and the empty
pail dangling by her side.
"What on earth is to pay, Dinah ?"
inquired the Squire.
"Oh. massa, for muffin, only-ki-
ki-ki, i.i-i-he-he-e-e-e !"
The Squire looked at his wife-she
at him-then both at Dinah who had.
"conniptioned" with laughter and
settled down by the door. her face
covered with an apron and her laugh
ing machinery shaking her sides at
tremendous rate.

"Dinah !" said he, at top of his
voice, "tell me what's to paw or
I will throw you out of the house !"

of laughter.
